AN exchange gives the following
good things to remember:
That SANDER, like mud, dries and
falls off.
That all are not princes that ride
with the emperor.
That he who gathers roses must
not fear thorns.
That to wait and be patient soothes
many a pang.
That correction is good when adj
ministered in season.
That to have what we want is riches
but to be able to do without is power.
That it takes great deal of grace
to be able to bear praise
That there is no limit to the age at
which man may make a fool of
himself
That you will never have friend if
you must have one without failings.
That the roses of pleasure seldom
last long enough to adorn the brow
of those who oluck them
That q man who cannot mind his
own business is not to be trusted
with the. business of others.

The Salary Act.

In chambers, on Saturday evening,
Judge Buck gave a decision in the
case of Sheriff Hanley against the
county, which practically sets the sal
airy bill passed by the last Legislature
aside. The case was one on appeal
from the board Of county commits
sioners, who passed the Sheriff's bill.
The district attorney objected to the
allowance of certain items of expense
to the Sheriff, holding that the officers
salary ought to cover the outlay. The
decision is based on the ground that
the legislature had no power to make
law in conflict with the act of con-
gress expressly prohibiting special
legislation, and that the Legislature
also exceeded its power when it at
tempted to reduce an officers salary
after he had been elected to Office,
which was the case in the present in
stance. The decision affects the sheriff,
county treasurer, auditor and recorder
and district attorney, who will go
back to the old law. We do not know
how it affects the assessor.
In the case on appeal affecting the
commissioners the judge said he
would render his decision at Lewiston
December 15-CGur d Alene Sun.

WHEN Jackson was President of
the United States, poor woman at

bill against a department clerk which
she could not collect, sought in her
despair an interview with the Pres
ident and told him her trouble. The
President told her to go to the clerk
and get his promissory note, then
come back. When she returned the
President took the note and wrote
across the back .'Andrew jackson. :"
In due time the note was placed in
bank for collection and the clerk
notified. He paid no attention, but
when informed who had Endorsed it.
quickly got the money and paid the
note. Next day he was notified that
his services in the department were
no longer wanted

THE trouble with the Republicans
is that they have never intended to
keep the promise made in their plat
form in 1884 ito correct the irregu'
larities of the tariff and to reduce the
surplus"
And they have hoped that the Dem.
ocrats were equally insincere in the
pledges they made at the same time.
Now that they find the Democratic
party is in earnest, they are greatly
alarmed. A few alleged Democrats in
Congress have sympathized with the
Republican desire that the Democratic
party should be false to its principles.
With the help Of these the Republi-
cans have expected to defeat the will
of the people.
But they know the Presidents
means what he says. There is no
equiyocation or double meaning in his
utterances. The declaration of the
Democratic platform that "unneees-
sary taxation is unjust taxation and
that sthe Democratic party is pledged
to revise the tariff in a spirit of fair
ness to all interests. = is accepted by
him as pledge which it is his duty
to see fulfilled. And he will do his
duty in that as in everything else
and that's what worries 'em.-Ex.
